People's exhibit No 438936091 in the case "Today's music has gone downhill" vs "These kids today"

too bad they didn't include the names on the list on the left. would have made it easier to round them up for that new rocket to the sun trip.

You actually take that "infographic" seriously? Comparing a pop song to a rock symphony? You'd get the same extreme difference in writing quality if you took an 80s pop song and compared it to a modern rock symphony too, but in the other direction. It's a very clear case of apples vs oranges.

That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

Would it make you feel better if they compared it to Billie Jean? It doesn't get pop-ier than the King of Pop, right? One writer (Michael), two producers (of which Michael was one).

Sure, but that wouldn't make it a fair comparison to the picture above. Selectively picking specific music with extraordinarily good or bad writing doesn't make a good comparison. It's like going to the fruit stand at your local convenience store, picking up the most rotten orange and most pristine apple you can find, then declaring that this proves that apples are way better than oranges.

I'm curious as to how he got up there. I know cats can jump pretty high, but they can't jump up to the top of a basketball hoop can they? I'm assuming clawing up the basketball pole is a non-starter too. Do cat's climb chainlink fences? I guess he could have jumped from the top of the fence onto the backboard support and then clambered over to the hoop-side.
